Topic: Gravity might amplify quantum fluctuations, create astrophysical objects

[sam]

In a new study, physicists have proposed that gravity could trigger a runaway effect in quantum fluctuations, causing them to grow so large that the quantum field’s vacuum energy density could dominate its classical energy density. This vacuum-dominance effect, which emerges under some specific but reasonable conditions, contrasts with the widely held belief that the influence of gravity on quantum phenomena should be small and subdominant.

I love these "make up the theory first then fnd the evidence" ideas.  But that's how black holes were discovered too.
